41 HOME IN HEAVEN

HOME 1991 Denson Revision
See LYRICS

A home in heav'n! What a joyful thought,
As the poor man toils in his weary lot:
His heart oppressed, and with anguish driv'n
From his home below to his home in heav'n, in heav'n;
From his home below to a home in heav'n.

A home in heav'n as the suff'rer lies
On his bed of pain and uplifts his eyes
To that bright home, what a joy is giv'n,
From the blessed thought of his home in heav'n, in heav'n;
From the blessed thought of his home in heav'n.

A home in heav'n when the faint heart bleeds
By the Spirit stroke for its evil deeds;
Oh! then what bless in that heart forgiv'n,
Does the hope inspire of its home in heav'n, in heav'n;
From the blessed thought of a home in heav'n!

A home in heav'n when our friends are fled
To the cheerless gloom of the moud'ring dead;
We wait in hope on the promise giv'n,
That we'll meet up there in our home in heav'n, in heav'n!
That we'll meet up there in our home in heav'n.
